Not that I disagree with this, but that goes almost directly against "Mak[ing] that source public via GitHub or another favorite long-lived, erosion-resistant host. Git’s portable, so copy or move repositories as you go."
Any self-hosted service or solution is going to not be erosion-resistant by virtue of not being for-profit.
- johnchristopher 6y agoYep, it's just that so far a lot of those tools and solutions that hit HN are github centric and I don't see why it can't be a bit more generic. Of course the end-result is easy to move out but the build pipeline is more dependent on GH. Not that it matters but it could be cool too to pipe SSG's output through a managed VPS just to show you don't need Github to host your static files.

Often enough it's the VCs which ruin a service by pressing out money before it inevitably dies because the experience has been degraded to an extreme degree.
